A signature of the form

a: object = None
b: object

results in b being uninitialized in the generated C code prior to the PyArgs_ParseTuple call. If ParseTuple does not set a value for b (as it is an optional argument), b then contains a garbage pointer and the interpreter may segfault.

AC should reject this configuration.

I'll fix this, but it's lower priority than the new features for Clinic that people need in order to get unblocked.

The bug you cited is fixed in today's rollup patch, #20390.  (I don't know how to denote the dependency between the two issues, maybe someone else can do that for me?)

Should this one be closed now?

FWIW, signature object validates this case now.
